It is a blow to Angela Merkel. German Chancellor has lost Sunday night for its closest ally to win against its European partners in managing the crisis of the euro. The defeat of Nicolas Sarkozy, she has supported all the way, is also a bit his. However, his political career attests: Merkel is good at adapting to new realities. It's been several weeks since his team is preparing for a possible victory of Francois Hollande. The Socialist no longer afraid to Berlin. His first phone call on Sunday night was to be for the Chancellor.

Francois Hollande was pretty irritated the Germans during his campaign by promising not to ratify the treaty in the state of budgetary discipline. The Socialist candidate would include a component of measures to support growth, including on the funding at European level of environmental or industrial projects. Merkel replied curtly that there would be no renegotiation of the text, regarded in Berlin as the culmination of his vision of a Europe steeped in the "stability culture" Germanic. Before making a small step towards Holland stating that the EU was preparing a "growth agenda" for the top end of June

Holland, who said he wanted to be part of the Franco-German tradition by making his first trip across the Rhine, is expected in Berlin this weekend or early next week, following his inauguration. It is expected to meet informally with the Chancellor of how to amend the treaty. Merkel wants to prevent the initiatives to support growth would delay its ratification. To circumvent the risk of isolation, she has already joined the Italian Mario Monti. And it seeks to gather around their tandem a significant number of twenty-five countries signed the treaty to ratify the text without waiting for France.

Berlin wants to believe qu'Hollande will find a "pragmatic solution", according to a memorandum of discussions between the team of the socialist candidate and German diplomats, quoted by the media across the Rhine. "Holland and his team want to be part of the continuity of the Franco-German working for Europe," said the note. For several weeks, Michel Sapin, author of the economic project of Holland, and Jean-Louis Bianco try to reassure the Chancellor through contacts with his closest advisers. On both sides of the Rhine, we want defuse "hiccups" that perfect storm of the euro, would be immediately punished by the markets.

Of "painful truths"

Merkel's entourage insisted on the red lines of the Chancellor. The introduction of Eurobonds is still a taboo in Berlin. As a stimulus to growth by an extensive program of public spending. Germany believes that its model of structural reforms is the role model for Europe. And she hopes qu'Hollande be satisfied with a symbolic boost to growth. For Berlin, the Socialist candidate's campaign promises are not set in stone. And he would realize that he will announce "painful truths" to the French early in his term. Germany feared above all that the arrival in power of Holland bury any desire for reform in France. And having to wear one at arm's Europe and the single currency. Holland "judge superfluous needed economic reforms, pension and labor market, laments the Bild newspaper in an editorial. The French economy unscrews. If Holland looks away, she will continue to fall. While Germany is alone without strong partner with a big question mark next to the euro. "

Somewhat reassured by his contacts with the Dutch team, led by Berlin is one hope: that economic realities and uncompromising market pressure will convince the French Socialist turning into a Social Democratic German inspired.

This unemployed architect has worked hard. Without work since 2009, Dan Zamora sent over 3000 CVs in the hope of getting a job, tells the Midi Libre. 936 responses to job postings, unsolicited applications in 2078 and 13 requests for training. Who have all ended in failure. "There is more work in my industry and I no longer believe in the possibility of conversion," the candidate is desperate.

The case of Dan Zamora, 59, illustrates the difficulties faced by more than 50 years on the job market deteriorated. But it also emphasizes the importance of targeting its research so that it bears fruit. "With 3000 hp sent, we can assume that not everyone has been addressed with the same relevance," said Frederic Magnen, senior consultant with the firm of recruitment Selescope.  

Applicants whose research patina may be tempted to apply for jobs "for which they are clearly under or overqualified," says Naomi Cicurel, director at recruitment firm of Robert Half. Strategy it deems inefficient: "The risk is to appear desperate and unprofessional, which will limit the chances of success if another position is better suited to his profile, is released later business cards design."

Depletion of applications

Better to be less forthcoming in applications and more personalized. "With the rise of great classifieds sites of employment, people in research began to send many more hp. And there was a depletion of applications, "says Frederic Magnen. The recruiter advises candidates to differentiate themselves by taking the foot against this trend. "Reply to a dozen ads in line with your profile is enough," said he.

For more attention of recruiters, it is important to treat his resume, usually read first. According to a survey by consulting firm HR WIT Associates, nearly 70% of recruiters do not read the letter that if they find interesting cv. "It must be synthetic, and highlight the skills and experience in line with the announcement. There is no point applying indiscriminately, "says Frederic Magnen.

Young graduates and young professionals dream of living and working in the Rhone-Alpes region, Lyon is their favorite city. This is the result of a survey of APEC conducted among 750 managers and 500 graduates, published Thursday. According to them, "Rhone-Alpes region appears to be the best combination of economic vitality and quality of life. It is cited as the first region for the quality of life and the second in terms of economic dynamism, "said Apec.

Rhone-Alpes is followed by Midi-Pyrenees, Aquitaine and Paca, which are cited by over a quarter of executives. A total of ten regions appear attractive to this population, if we add the Languedoc-Roussillon, the Loire Valley, Brittany, Ile-de-France, Alsace, Nord-Pas de Calais. A map of the regions combining economic dynamism and quality of life that was consonant with some of the INSEE forecasts according to which, "Rhone-Alpes, Languedoc-Roussillon, Midi-Pyrenees, Paca, Loire and Aquitaine know the evolution of their most dynamic workforce by 2030. "

As for the Ile de France, it occupies a special place in the heart of managers and young graduates. As stated in Apec, "it is the most attractive region for economic dynamism with rates above 90%, but in terms of quality of life, the region ranks only eighth, also among both executives than for graduates. " It is true that in the eyes of this population, an unattractive region is a region that concentrates a number of disadvantages such as "a living environment degradation (pollution …), a real estate market saturated or too expensive, time transport home / work or too great a high unemployment rate. " Many criteria that may affect near or far the Ile de France guaranteed online payday loans.

Attractiveness criteria: transportation and climate

In total what are the criteria for this population to judge "attractive" region? In terms of quality of life, to attach great importance to the travel time between home and office (over 49% among the two categories of people surveyed), the living environment (34% for graduates and 40% in frames), climate (31% for graduates and 39% for managers) and the range of leisure (41% for graduates and over 33% among managers). From the perspective of dynamism is mainly a regional economy dense (over 62% for graduates and 67% for executives), the presence of head offices (45%), transport infrastructure (more 40%) and wage levels (44%).

To live in an attractive region, it is often willing to move. This is the case of young professionals and graduates surveyed by Apec: 76% of junior managers and 69% of graduates are ready to take the plunge and go to work in another region. Candidates are the most mobile people currently residing in Ile de France, with nearly nine out of ten positive responses. For many of the young workers, it is "not just a wish-list" notes Apec: third make a short-term and 28% long term. Still, the fact of life made their finger on a number of constraints. "For many young professionals and young graduates, geographic mobility is simply not an option because employment opportunities are few in the area of ​​their interest" and it is often necessary, in addition, find a job for spouse.

Swiss citizens have said "no" referendum, the establishment of "six weeks of vacation for all", or fifteen days of paid vacation and more. The initiative launched by the unions was rejected by 67% of voters. The text called for the passage of six weeks compulsory leave to a minimum, while the Federal Constitution allows four since 1984.

The result was not surprising: the economic and the Parliament had voted against. The initiators of the argument was based on the deterioration of working conditions. "But the economic calendar was not favorable and the opponents have played on fear," responded Josiane Aubert, Vice President of Swiss Labour, the group behind the referendum.  

"More than the French? Unthinkable! "

In the opposing camp, the president of the Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bernard Rüeger, said he was "proud that the Swiss citizen is aware that work causes less poverty and deindustrialization."

"We would have been world champions holiday, more than the French, is to say …" jokes at Swiss Television Cristina Gaggini, Director of Economics Swiss Romande, an employers' association. The Helvetians refuse more vacation "because deep down, deep in their memory, are still the idea that the holidays are the invention of a lazy fortunate few," says the newspaper Le Temps.

The National Frequency Agency (ANFR) Tuesday reported its initial findings on the cover of the Free Mobile Industry Minister, Eric Besson. The agency frequencies confirms that 92% of tested Free Mobile antennas are based. But keeps his distance measurement methods used by Constable telecom (ARCEP), which has already validated the cover of Free Mobile last week. "The theoretical coverage does not reflect the reality of operating a hybrid network, such as Free Mobile, based largely on homelessness," the report said.

Clearly, ANFR ARCEP believes that should not have to use the same thermometer Free Mobile as that used for Orange, SFR and Bouygues. Last Thursday, Jean-Ludovic Silicani, president of ARCEP had justified its method of calculation on BFM. "It would take a different thermometer for Free as that was selected for France Telecom, SFR and Bouygues. This is both unfair and incomprehensible! This thermometer, it is the same. Whether to make it evolve in the future, for future licenses that are not of the same nature as this one, why not, we reflect. But for now, we apply the thermometer, "he said.

Quarrel method

This quarrel, which may seem technical, is actually the heart of the competitive battle that is played on the telecom market. Free Mobile has launched on the market, with the obligation to cover on its own 27% of the population. Constable telecom was measured and confirmed twice in December and February. For the rest, Free Mobile can use the Orange network, through roaming agreement concluded between the two groups. But competitors did not took off, saying that over 90% of traffic would be passed by Free Mobile Orange. Jean-Bernard Levy, chairman of Vivendi (SFR), denounced a strategy of "cuckoo" and Roussat Olivier, CEO of Bouygues Telecom, a "true-false network."

The whole question is whether to link the concepts of coverage and traffic flow. "The level of traffic passing by the Free Orange network is not a regulatory matter, but the application of a private law contract concluded between France Telecom and Free in conditions they have defined" , explained Jean-Ludovic Silicani last week at his hearing before the National Assembly.

Planning

"The calculation of the effective coverage of a network is a very important subject for the development of digital technology," said Eric Besson Tuesday. "We can not, on one side, set very high coverage obligations and, on the other, adopt a method of calculating coverage too soft," he said.

This will be discussed Wednesday in the working group on mobile coverage, which brings together operators, parliamentarians, local councilors, and ANFR Arcep.

It was two years ago: Didier Migaud took the head of the ECA. To succeed Philippe Seguin, Nicolas Sarkozy had chosen to appeal to an elected Socialist President of the Finance Committee in the Assembly. This appointment, under the sign of political openness, is one of the many developments that have marked the Court in recent years. Developments that have strengthened its role. The Court of Auditors is not content to publish its annual report in February, far from it!

Thus, since 2008, the magistrates of the Rue Cambon – named by reference to the Paris address of the Court – control the accounts of the Elysee. Jean-Pierre Bel, the President PS Senate, has asked that the same is true for those in the Senate. As for the accounts of the state (ministries and parastatals) and the general scheme of Social Security, they are "certified" by the Court of Auditors since 2006, which ensures reliability.

Another innovation of the last ten years: the increased collaboration with the Parliament, which may apply to the Court of audit reports on specific topics. In 2011, the report pointing to the overhead of merging the two directions of taxes at Bercy has been commissioned by the Senate Finance Committee. The Court of course retains the right to set its own agenda. It was she who chose for example to control the works of the RATP.

Assessing the economic policies

Since 2008, the magistrates of the Rue Cambon must also evaluate public policies. A new mission that leads them to act outside of the public sphere. "For the assessment of biofuels policy, we asked private companies, including Total, PSA, Renault, etc.. Our contacts have proved available, so that legally, nor was it required to answer our questions, "Christian witness Descheemaeker, president of the Seventh Chamber (specializing in transport, environment, agriculture), and Arnold Migus and Paul-Henri Ravier, Senior Councillors.

Adversarial proceedings

Also in evaluation, the Court can work with Parliament. This was the case on the report on accommodation for homeless people. "We attended the hearings conducted by the members and we sometimes went into the field with them," says Anne Froment-Meurice, president of the Fifth Chamber (specializing in employment, excluding the city), Michel de Virville, Senior Member, and Marie-Christine Butel, rapporteur.

Each time, whether measurement or control, the Court respects adversarial proceedings. Controlled organizations have a right of reply that is built into the reports. Furthermore, the authors of the reports have their work checked by other members of the Court, at hearings in private. "We are on the grill for half a day. But it is very informative, "says Marie-Christine Butel, rapporteur. This is especially a more reliable, which explains the reputation of this institution created in 1807.

FOUR FUNCTIONS IN THE STATE:

r the public sphere. The Court of Auditors checks the state and its satellites, Social Security, public enterprises and organizations using public donations. The regime of the entertainment or the Bank of France were pinned in its latest annual report. The court also publishes thematic reports during the year, like the Franco-German taxation. It enlightens the public debate by giving their views regularly on the state of French public finances. The regional audit control, they, the management of local authorities.

Each year, the Court of Auditors certify that the accounts of the state and the general scheme of Social Security are "regular, honest and fairly." In short, it ensures that the methodology makes these reliable accounts. France is, with the United Kingdom and the United States, one of the few countries where an independent authority certifies the accounts of the state.

The Court of Auditors and regional chambers judge public accountants for their sins. They can condemn them to fines or impose Debets, that is to say force them to repay the expense paid irregularly or not the recipe recovered by negligence.

The Court of Auditors assesses whether a given public policy – eg biofuels policy or the accommodation of homeless people – is achieving its objectives. It is then brought to question government but also private companies.

Skills transfer will take place earlier than expected at the head of Canal +. By the beginning of 2013, Rodolphe Belmer, now deputy director general in charge of the publishing division, will replace Mr. Meheut operational as president of Canal +. According latribune.fr, the television group would prepare the encrypted handover, while the current president's mandate runs until 31 December 2014. This plan would have been endorsed by Jean-Rene Fourtou, almighty man of Vivendi, parent company of Canal +.

Bertrand Meheut, who took the head of Canal + in complete disarray in 2003, has restated the financial statements and the group's image in recent years. If it passes control to Rodolphe Belmer, who seconds since 2003, Bertrand Meheut keep one foot in the house as President nonoperational. An unusual transaction in the media world where the big bosses tend to devour their children to organize their succession.

In fact, Rodolphe Belmer is already one that drives the progress of Canal + to define whether the strategy or make appointments. He is the architect of the historic change that the group is trying to achieve by establishing a presence in the market for free TV. Against the initial notice of Mr. Meheut, Canal + has led to develop the draft Canal20 free channel. Then in the summer of 2011, he contributed to the redemption of DTT channels free of Bolloré, Direct 8 Direct Star, proving its ability to convince its president.

Ramp-up

This strategy is more widely in the conviction of Rodolphe Belmer that the future of television will belong to those capable of building strong and clean content cash till payday. They must guarantee the autonomy and the attractiveness of the audiovisual group.

Rodolphe Belmer also imposed the idea that in matters of pay, it could not be any offers low cost. A position which today is reflected in the decision to close the Canal + TPS Star channel on the DTT present and whose financial losses amounting to millions of euros.

But the rise of those who arrived as number two of the group in 2003, at the height of the storm, was also illustrated by the process of appointments within the group during the summer. Wishing to renew and rejuvenate frames, Rodolphe Belmer organized the transition i-TV, the news channel group with the appointment to head one of his relatives, Cécilia Ragueneau. It also decided the appointment of Peter Fraidenraich, former head of i-TV, at the head of sports rights acquisitions.

Finally, there is barely a fortnight, Rodolphe Belmer has redesigned the organization of the group by naming the head of a center of free TV Aprikian Ara, and poaching of BETC Euro RSCG Raphaël de Andreis, now supports of pay-TV operations.

The challenge is to "transform the success of the DS3," said Frederic Banzet, the CEO of the brand. The small city chic, launched in March 2010, has already passed to 135,000 copies, which is "way above the targets set," he says. The brand has even encroached on the beds of the Mini, DS3 by selling 56,400 in the first nine months of the year in Europe, against 122,000 for the range of pocket BMW free online credit report.In addition, the DS4, launched in late May, recorded nearly 30,000 orders.

The DS3 is sold as 1 500 to 2 000 euros more than C3, manufactured on the same platform.

Bet more difficult

But for the DS5, the bar is far higher. Citroën is legitimate because if the segment of small and compact cars, which account for most of its volume, is much less the case with that of larger cars, where the previous launch high-end, that of C6, ended in failure.
